Clonezilla 3.2.0 (32-bit)

Clonezilla 是開源的分割區與磁碟映像/克隆工具，功能類似 True Image，主要用於系統部署、裸機備份與還原。它只保存與還原硬碟中已使用的區塊，因此克隆效率較高。提供三種版本：live 適合單機備份還原，lite server 與 SE 則可同時克隆數十台電腦，適合大規模部署。開發團隊持續維護，更新活躍，在同類工具中屬於主流選擇，評價普遍不錯。

適合系統管理員、IT 人員，以及需要大量部署或定期備份還原的使用者。單機情境用 live 版即可，若需同時克隆多台電腦，則需使用 lite server 或 SE 版。與 Rufus、Glary Utilities 等替代工具相比，Clonezilla 專注於磁碟克隆，功能專業但介面較樸素，學習曲線稍陡。開源免費，僅提供英文介面，中文使用者需留意。

Clonezilla 64 bit is a partition and disk imaging/cloning program similar to True Image. It helps you to do system deployment, bare metal backup, and recovery.

Three types of the app are available, Clonezilla live, Clonezilla lite server, and Clonezilla SE (server edition).

Clonezilla live is suitable for single machine backup and restore. While Clonezilla lite server or SE is for massive deployment, it can clone many (40 plus!) computers simultaneously. It saves and restores only used blocks in the hard disk.

This increases clone efficiency. With some high-end hardware in a 42-node cluster, a multicast restoring at rate 8 GB/min was reported.

Features and Highlights

• Many File systems are supported: (1) ext2, ext3, ext4, reiserfs, reiser4, xfs, jfs, btrfs, f2fs and nilfs2 of GNU/Linux, (2) FAT12, FAT16, FAT32, NTFS of MS Windows, (3) HFS+ of macOS, (4) UFS of FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD, (5) minix of Minix, and (6) VMFS3 and VMFS5 of VMWare ESX.
• Therefore you can clone GNU/Linux, MS windows, Intel-based Mac OS, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, Minix, VMWare ESX and Chrome OS/Chromium OS, no matter its 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x86-64) OS. For these file systems, only used blocks in partition are saved and restored by Partclone. For unsupported file system, sector-to-sector copy is done by dd in the app.
• LVM2 (LVM version 1 is not) under GNU/Linux is supported.
• Boot loader, including grub (version 1 and version 2) and syslinux, could be reinstalled.
• Both MBR and GPT partition formats of a hard drive are supported. It also can be booted on a BIOS or uEFI machine.
• Unattended mode is supported. Almost all steps can be done via commands and options. You can also use a lot of boot parameters to customize your own imaging and cloning.
• One image restoring to multiple local devices is supported.
• The image could be encrypted. This is done with ecryptfs, a POSIX-compliant enterprise cryptographic stacked filesystem.
• Multicast is supported in Clonezilla SE, which is suitable for massive clone. You can also remotely use it to save or restore a bunch of computers if PXE and Wake-on-LAN are supported in your clients.
• BitTorrent (BT) is supported in the lite server, which is suitable for massive clone. The job for BT mode is done by Ezio.
• The image file can be on local disk, ssh server, samba server, NFS server, or WebDAV server.
• AES-256 encryption could be used to secures data access, storage, and transfer.
• Based on Partclone (default), Partimage (optional), ntfsclone (optional), or dd to image or clone a partition. However, the app, containing some other programs, can save and restore not only partitions but also a whole disk.
• By using another free software drbl-winroll, which is also developed by us, the hostname, group, and SID of cloned MS windows machine can be automatically changed.

Which Clonezilla Shall I Use ?

Clonezilla Live: Clonezilla live allows you to use CD/DVD or USB flash drive to boot and run clonezilla (Unicast only)

Clonezilla lite server: Clonezilla lite server allows you to use Clonezilla live to do massively cloning (unicast, broadcast, multicast, bittorrent are supported)

Clonezilla SE: Clonezilla SE is included in DRBL, therefore a DRBL server must first be set up in order to use Clonezilla to do massively cloning (unicast, broadcast and multicast are supported)

Minimum System Requirements

X86 or x86-64 processor

196 MB of system memory (RAM)

Boot device, e.g. CD/DVD Drive, USB port, PXE, or hard drive

Limitations

• The destination partition must be equal or larger than the source one.
• Differential/incremental backup is not implemented yet.
• Online imaging/cloning is not implemented yet. The partition to be imaged or cloned has to be unmounted.
• Due to the image format limitation, the image can not be explored or mounted. You can _NOT_ recovery a single file from the image. However, you still have a workaround to make it, read this.
• Recovery Clonezilla live with multiple CDs or DVDs is not implemented yet. Now all the files have to be in one CD or DVD if you choose to create the recovery iso file.

PROS

• Free and Open Source
• Fast Imaging and Cloning
• Supports Multiple File Systems
• Highly Customizable
• Secure Data Handling

CONS

• Complex for Beginners
• Limited GUI Options
• No Incremental Backups
• Requires Manual Setup
• Hardware Compatibility Issues

Note: Use BurnAware to burn the ISO file to a bootable CD or use Rufus to make a bootable USB drive.
